Feature Overview
Amazon API Gateway Integration is an Automation node in Synerise that enables sending HTTP requests directly to endpoints built with Amazon API Gateway. This allows triggering AWS Lambda functions, accessing backend services, and orchestrating microservices from within Synerise Automation workflows — with built-in support for secure Connections and customizable response events.
The feature is available as a "Send Request" action node in the Synerise Automation module.
What Is Amazon API Gateway Integration?
Amazon API Gateway Integration is a dedicated action node in Synerise Automation that sends HTTP requests to Amazon API Gateway endpoints. Users configure the HTTP method, invoke URL, resource path, headers, body, and a custom response event name. A customizable event (default: amazonApiGateway.sendRequest) is generated upon receiving a response. The node supports both customer-related and internal business workflows, with secure API key management through Synerise Connections.
Why Amazon API Gateway Integration Matters
Amazon API Gateway is a core component in serverless and microservice architectures. Without a native integration, connecting Synerise workflows to AWS-based backend logic requires custom webhook development, external middleware, or manual API scripting — adding complexity and development overhead.
Amazon API Gateway Integration addresses this by:
- Providing a direct bridge between Synerise Automation and AWS backend services — no external tools or custom code required
- Supporting real-time request-response workflows with customizable events for downstream automation
- Including built-in Connection management for secure API key handling
- Enabling both customer-facing (marketing personalization) and operational (backend triggers) use cases
Key Capabilities
Send Request node for Amazon API Gateway
A dedicated Automation action node sends HTTP requests to Amazon API Gateway endpoints. Users configure the HTTP method, invoke URL, resource path, headers, and body — all within the workflow builder.
Customizable response events
A response event (default: amazonApiGateway.sendRequest) is generated upon receiving a response from the endpoint. The event name is customizable, enabling use in downstream automation logic and analytics.
Secure Connection management
API keys are managed through Synerise Connections, providing secure, reusable authentication across workflows without hardcoding credentials.
How Amazon API Gateway Integration Works
- Navigate to Automation > Workflows in Synerise and create a new workflow.
- Add a trigger (e.g., Scheduled Run, Audience, or event-based trigger).
- Add the Amazon API Gateway > Send Request node.
- Select or create a Connection by adding the API key.
- Configure the request: HTTP method, invoke URL, resource path, headers, body, and custom response event name.
- Publish the workflow. Requests are sent to the Amazon API Gateway endpoint when the trigger fires.
Example Use Case
An e-commerce company uses AWS Lambda for real-time inventory checks. When a customer adds a high-demand product to their cart, a Synerise Automation workflow triggers the Amazon API Gateway Send Request node to check stock levels via Lambda. Based on the response, the workflow either proceeds with a confirmation push notification or sends an out-of-stock alternative recommendation — all without leaving the Synerise platform.
